I got a lot of sewing done last week!! Here's are some of the things I worked on...
I made this top while on retreat at Sunriver with Lori and Randy. I finished quilting this one this past week. A real Almost finished quilt!!! tee hee
I started these blocks while at Sunriver. Most of the fabrics came from a fat 8th's bundle. I thought that since They came as a bundle I would not have to work to hard on the color scheme. But I wasn't thinking about value so much?! There is actually a pattern there!!! (Double Irish Chain) But it's pretty hard to see. Well, it's soft and sweet and it will make a nice charitable quilt....
Randy gave me several bags of scraps and fabric to take to our local Guild to donate to the Flea market. Which Of Course means I get to glean from said bags. Randy donates the Best stuff ever! I found this tree block and 6- 9 patches and a whole bunch of cool forest themed scraps and that was the genesis for this quilt top. I will be donateing this to a patient at the City of Hope Cancer treatment center. |
I finished this top which was made from the rest of the plaids I used in an earlier project. view here http://cspoonquilt.blogspot.com/2013/01/dark-or-light-borders.html The bars are a little wonky but these plaids are so loosely wolven I decided not to trim them.
I hope maybe I'll get a few more of these tops quilted this week.
I have several mornings free this week (my best time for sewing). Do you have a favorite time of day to sew?
Happy sewing! CW
I love to sew in the morning just seems to work the best for me! I love the plaid strip quilt.
ReplyDeleteso nice to go thru others scraps isn't it???? I think the recipient of the tree quilt is going to love it.
the little 4 patches is a great quilt, love the fabrics…thats what I saw first until read it, its a double irish chain!

Claire, your tops came out great!! Nice job!! I love them all!
ReplyDeleteWay to go Claire. They are all fun quilts! I'd prefer to sew in the morning, but have time between late afternoon and dinner to get a little quality sewing time in.
ReplyDeleteYou really have been busy! So many pretty quilts. But I do have a soft spot for plaids!
